Rowdy folklore and dancing, skillful horsemanship, manly gauchos (Argentinean cowboys), inexhaustible amounts of grilled meat, empanadas, and other regional foods, fairly priced and beautifully handcrafted arts & crafts. Oh, yes. I do love the Feria de Mataderos. It’s one of my favorite Sunday activities in Buenos Aires. Watch our video to see if you want to add Mataderos to your list of things to do in Buenos Aires.

Caseros is not just a beautiful restaurant on one of San Telmo’s most beautiful avenues, it serves great food. Lamb, beef, rabbit, fish, pork, pasta, great lemonade and iced tea. The fresh ingredients and wonderful variety are so very welcome!

Finding great fish in Buenos Aires can be a challenge. There’s a fantastic fishmonger near San Telmo in the area called Barracas. El Delfin often has fresh oysters, fresh shrimp, excellent seafood empanadas and plenty of other choices for those who love good food.

This is by far the best French cuisine I’ve had outside of France. Not only do they serve seafood, which is rare in Buenos Aires, the setting, service, and presentation were all exceptional. Les Anciens Combattants is in my top 10.

Live folklore shows and a rowdy crowd make La Peña del Colorado one of our favorite spots in town. Argentinean folklore features amazing guitar players with talented criollo singers. Order the pinguino, but make sure you get some soda to go with it.

We went to the town of Adrogue for a cooking class where Teresita taught us to make the best beef and corn empanadas I’ve ever had. We loved Teresita, loved her home, and devoured the empanadas.
